Industry is easily our favorite spot in Austin for an easygoing brunch. I am obsessed with the Blistered Poblanos and Crispy Cotija Fries. Paired with an old fashioned, or any cocktail, it makes the perfect brunch combo or girl dinner! Their team was fantastic! Service was a 10/10. Industry offers a relaxed vibe, excellent food offerings and very reasonable prices. It's elevated without pretentiousness. Great for large group gatherings or intimate dates. The patio area offers games and plenty of shaded seating. Dogs are not just welcomed but treated as family members. Paid parking is easy to access and close to the restaurant. And their social media content is hilarious. read more

Best meal I've had in a long time!! Really enjoyed the industry bowl with brisket and the ginger slushy. Yum!! Great service too!

I rarely ever leave reviews, let alone bad ones but this place is ridiculous. Don't be fooled by the 5 star reviews, they will give you a free drink/free app for it at the beginning and then give you some of the worst service of your life with the most average food. We came on a Sunday for the bottomless mimosas and they make you order per glass at the counter and the line gets ridiculously long. I understand how busy it gets, and I will admit the that servers are all extremely sweet so we can understand how difficult it was for them to keep up with a high volume of orders. However everything we ordered came out incorrect or didn't come at all. After waiting over 30 minutes we decided to go to the counter to change the order to go expecting it to be brought to our table. After waiting a while again my friend asked to speak to a manager where he gave her attitude and told her she should've known it would be on the counter. We then asked for a refund for what hadn't came and they also gave us a hard time. On the website it states, "If you hated it, we'll discount or comp your bill." , but they obviously do not care. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND GO TO RESTAURANTS THAT CARE ABOUT THEIR WORKERS AND CUSTOMERS!!!! read more

If you want the best wings in Austin, look no further. Industry gives sports bar vibes with high quality food. Can't find that that many places. If you get the wings, I highly recommend the blueberry habanero wings with their homemade ranch! Also the catfish feels like it was made by your grandmother! Usually when I come, I challenge my friend in ping pong since there's a table right up right. There's always different events going on during the week to keep people coming. I even brought my dad here and he loved it. Cassie was our server and she was amazing! She made sure my dad had a great first time experience. She knows the menu well, and gives great suggestions. She was super friendly and welcoming. I will bring more people here because of her!......and the food read more

Loved the atmosphere of this place! We came in town for a bachelorette and this was the perfect spot to start our night. We got tacos, burgers, & espresso martinis. Definitely recommend! read more

The cocktails are delicious and such a great atmosphere ! The live music is so good on Sunday!!

The location and convenience of this place is awesome. I gave them 4 stars because sometimes the food isn't my favorite but I do highly recommend the burger. The service is always 5 stars- they are very attentive. Another great thing to note is they have a good amount of NA drinks as well as great coffee for those doing dry january or cutting back on drinking. read more

Mac n Cheese was fire, Garlic Soy chicken was top tier too! I would highly recommend checking out industry, they also make a mean dirty martini read more

Great ambience and nice place, ordering is efficient as well with great food options and open late night as well

Very welcoming store that doesn't require you to interact with servers. Awesome music and good outdoor seating areas to catch some Austin sun! Food is very comforting and tastes great. Definitely recommend coming here for a day or night out. read more

LITERALLY DON'T GO HERE. Made my order wrong and when I called to ask why they blamed it on me and said I was lying. So I walked into industry for the FIRST time tonight at around 11:15pm. I ordered a regular hamburger and asked to substitur the Swiss cheese for cheddar cheese, and I asked for pickles and tomatoes to be added to the burger, and I asked for all the sauces on the side. I made the order to go, and I ordered fries and asked for cheese on the side. When I got home and opened my order, the only thing the burger had on it was lettuce. When I called back to ask what happened with the order and spoke with the lady manager there, she told me that I was lying about the sauces, because she said she packed the bag herself, but there was no ketchup or mustard in the bag, and there were no tomatoes and pickles on the burger and there was no cheese on the side of the fries. How can you call this anything but total incompetence?! While I was there, there were three people sitting at the bar, and one table of people outside. The entire establishment was empty besides those guests. I was extremely polite and kind, even when on the phone up until the manager accused me of lying at which point I became incredulous, and asked why she would accuse me of lying. I literally just craved a late night burger and when I opened it nothing was as I ordered it. Then when I called to ask why, instead of taking responsibility for not making the order as requested they just blamed it on the customer. What kind of establishment is this? And when you're not even busy?? UNREAL. The manager with the black and red hair is the one who accused me of lying. She also called me a bitch on the phone and hung up on me. How unbelievably rude. If that's how you treat your customers, you shouldn't be in business!!!!! Additionally the manager told me the only thing she could do is remake the burger and only if I drove back up there, which they would have been closed by the time I got back. Honestly, so disappointed. That manager should be fired. read more

Meh. Gourmet style burger. Drippy with liquid not juice. Didn't pic well. Tomatoes and lettus's was fast burger style so didn't work. They need to work on this, and price was steep for it. And the last pet peeve, no fry's. Bun also not toasted so it cooled off the already cold toppings. While burger was cooked to temp, cold. So cold I got frostbite. My fingers literally had to be warmed by the fur of my cat. read more

Rhianna is the worst bartender ever. TOTAL MOOD KILLER I have visited Industry many times in the past and have always genuinely loved the food and atmosphere. Because of those many beautiful and positive experiences, it was important to share feedback about my visit on Sunday, February 15th, around 4-5 PM. The restaurant was very busy, and since there were no open tables available, my boyfriend and I chose to sit at the bar to order. Our bartender was Rhianna. While I completely understand that it was a busy, loud evening, the attitude I encountered from her was extremely disappointing. She raised her voice at me, rolled her eyes, and displayed what felt like a very cold and dismissive attitude. I am always respectful and kind to service providers ALWAYS, so this interaction was both surprising and very upsetting. What made me most uncomfortable about the interaction with her was that it wasn't my boyfriend AND me experiencing this treatment from her; it was only me. The attitude and cold demeanor were directed solely at me, and I know this because she was respectful and attentive to my boyfriend the whole time we were there. She would directly give him eye contact when speaking to him, but would stare at the POS when she knew I was trying to get her attention to order another drink. Additionally, when my boyfriend asked if there were any Mexican beers available, she said they had Michelob Ultra, which is not a Mexican beer. While this may seem minor, it contributed to the overall impression of inexperience and unprofessionalism. As an employee who serves people, she should exemplify kind, courteous behavior toward ALL customers, not just their boyfriends. I hope this feedback is taken constructively to ensure all guests feel welcome and respected, even during busy shifts. ( photo is from another review about this bartender as well, so clearly nothing new lol) read more

I had a team dinner with over 10 people in my group at Industry. One pro of this place is that it can accommodate large groups, since it has a fairly large indoor seating area and outdoor seating. We were seated outdoors. The food here was alright. We ordered some chips and salsa and pork belly bites as appetizers. The chips and salsa were good, and the pork belly bites had nice flavor but texture was tough. In terms of tacos, the portions were quite small, especially for the Chicken Tinga Tacos. Multiple people ordered this, and the portion size was consistently small for all of them. The tacos themselves were alright - not bad but nothing astonishing. The brisket tacos seems a lot more packed portion-wise and was definitely the better of the two. I also got a Keyed Up cocktail, which wasn't too bad. It came with a side of graham cracker crumbs, but to be honest, it did not really add anything to the drink. Service felt a bit jumbled. There was some hiccups with orders and certain items missing from orders. I also heard from a friend that the previous day, they did not have any iced water available for them, which was odd. read more

Excellent tacos! I like the order counter and the service was pretty fast. Good drinks specials, will come back for happy hour!

Did you know that they have a smoker going in the back? Chef Eddie and the amazing team are masters at using it! From mouthwatering smoked olives that elevate their Bloody Marys to a brisket wash that infuses flavor into their Old Fashioneds and juicy burger patties--it's a smoky paradise! Here are some must-tries: Burgers made with 70% beef & 30% brisket Brussels sprouts that are simply PHENOMENAL Indulge in pecan pie and banana pudding for dessert! P.S. Don't miss the award-winning Bloody Mary with those smoked olives--it's a game changer! read more

Thanks for making my bach weekend so flavorful! I will def be back with my husband! read more

If you think Industry is just another sports bar serving typical American fare, you'd be mistaken. While they do have a full bar, a bunch of TVs, a ping pong table and corn hole, their food is what takes it to another level. Talking to the managers, they told us that they brought in a new chef 8 months ago and that's why their food game has taken off. We ordered the Industry Burger, which they make the patty in house, the Beef Cakes (pancakes topped with their smoked brisket, bacon and berry compote), and the brussel sprouts. Needless to say we were not disappointed. Add to that their specialty cocktails, (industry Old Fashioned with their in-house brisket fat washed rye) and the award winning Bloody Mary, you can't go wrong. This is a great place to hang out when you're in East Austin, complete with a laid back atmosphere and friendly staff. read more

TIPPING SCAM: At Industry on E 5th in Austin, when you order your food and pay at the counter, a sticker on their computer screen says "tipping blocked" or such, and you pay with a card, they don't even show you the total, and you don't have to sign the screen or anything at all. But then when you get the receipt you can see there is a mandatory 20% fee for "Real Wage Guarantee", ie a 20% tip that you were not told about and did not have the option of declining. Nothing tells you there will be a tip included. That is not right. read more

Really cool, casual & hip spot. We went last sunday for brunch. They had bottomless mimosas but I got the oax mex & bloody mary. Bloody marry was pretty good.. nothing special. The oax mex (mezcal cocoa drink) was SO yum. We got the industry bowl, the bob, brussel sprouts & bread pudding french toast. The food was pretty good. My favorite out of all that was Brussel sprouts lol. The only annoying thing was, it was difficult to get a server's attention since everyone works together instead of a server taking a table at a time. Great concept, live music was good. read more

The ambiance was nice, with plenty of seating and even a ping pong table, which added a fun touch. It's a great spot to hang out, but unfortunately, the food didn't match the vibe. The blackened catfish was a major disappointment--overly salty and charred, with partially uncooked rice underneath. The flavors just didn't come together, and it was tough to enjoy. Hopefully, they can work on getting the balance right in the future. One thing that surprised us was the mandatory 20% service charge. You order off a QR code on your table, so the extra service fee didn't make much sense. On top of that, they ask if you'd like to leave an additional tip after already adding the 20%. read more

Really liked the queso and chicken tinga tacos. This is a great spot to go on a beautiful day. Lots of seating and great music playing. They have games to play there too. Inside and outside seating. Would definitely come back on one of their themed nights, maybe ladies night. read more

I arrived back in Austin after a week in FL around 9:45 pm on Monday night. I was looking for a late night place to chill and grab a bite. Industry's website says they will serve food even if you arrive one minute before closing. I don't know how true that actually is because we were there a little after 10pm. They have a reverse HH from 10:30 to close. We ordered the house margarita which was pretty good. I mentioned that my specialty drink was an Old Fashioned. The bartender told me how he would make it and made one for me. He improvised because he didn't have all of the ingredients readily available. Good drink nonetheless. We started with the Green Chile Queso and Crispy Brussel Sprouts. My friend who picked me up at the airport (nice friend) had the Industry Bowl and I had the Industry Burger. The bowl was an interesting mix of greens, kale and veggies. My burger was a little bit dry...pretty much well done. Maybe I should have stipulated medium rare. The dill pickle mayo and bacon onion jam helped it to slide down my gullet. Service was great! The kitchen might have closed a few minutes early. It was a very slow night after all. I'll be back again for more late night adventures! read more

Here in Austin for a mama's weekend and we needed some late night food. Industry hit the spot in all areas: food, seating, environment, and most of all, the SERVICE! High five and props to Andréas, Seth, and Cass - THEY ARE AMAZING!! All of them truly went out of their way to make sure we had the best food, suggested dishes, and actually, engaged in pleasant conversations with us! Dishes we had - chips/salsa, queso, sweet potato fries, Brussels sprouts, blistered poblanos, sweet potato hummus, chili, and a chicken wrap. ALL GREAT. Thanks for the fantastic time!! read more

I'm a regular here and I always have a perfect wing experience. It's always consistent and the best wings in Austin.

Tried Industry with a friend before a concert at Scoot Inn. The girls at the counter were helpful with suggestions. We ended up trying the brisket tacos and the beef & cheese burger for food, and a margarita and the Pool Floaty for drinks. My friend really liked her tacos and I scarfed my burger down. I love burgers with pimento cheese and this one had a nice spicy kick to it from the jalapeños. She said the margarita was just ok, but the Pool Floaty was really delicious and refreshing. The vibe was very nice and laid back and there was good music playing. I would stop by again if I'm in the area. read more

Super cool vibe. Brought my computer and drank and studied. I like the openness of the bar.

My boyfriend and I ate at Industry tonight for the first time, and I have to assume the existing reviews for this business are fake. The food ranged from "okay" to "huh, that's kinda weird", but the service was incredibly rough, most of the staff couldn't care less, and they completely fucked up the dessert. We went for restaurant week and spent $100 between us, including tip. Across our three "courses", we ordered: Mine: Garlic rice & beans Veggie sando Brownie a la mode His: Poblanos Smoked cauliflower tacos Banana pudding Plus two margaritas. They were busy, but not terribly so - there were still open tables, and no line to order food or anything like that. We walked right up to the counter and ordered, then sat down. It took 10-15 minutes to receive food. They brought only the poblanos and my veggie sando. The waiter asked if we had more coming, and we said yes. He took our number anyway, and said he'd take it and bring us the rest of our food. He left with the number. After a few minutes, it was clear the food wasn't coming soon. Uhh alright, I guess I'll eat my entree while my boyfriend eats some peppers? Also, who takes the number when there's still food coming? It took over 20 more minutes to receive more food: the cauliflower tacos and banana pudding. A few min. later, the rice & beans came out. Then the brownie. The brownie was what broke me. I'm sorry y'all, but my boyfriend and I rarely eat out and this was a visit we decided on two weeks earlier when the restaurant week menus came out. I was *so* looking forward to this meal, it had been a long week, and we were excited to have an easy and tasty meal to relax with - and to top it off - my favorite dessert, a warm brownie with vanilla ice cream melting into it. But the brownie came out *ice cold*, like it'd been in the fridge or freezer. The brownie was colder than the ice cream that was on top of it, and was completely hard. I had to go look at the menu, thinking I'd misunderstood, but no, it literally says "a warm chocolate brownie". It also says covered in caramel and pecans, and neither of those were present. The ice cream was also poor quality, like Blue Bunny type of vanilla. I don't expect gourmet ice cream here, but I don't go out to eat to purchase the same shit I could prepare at home with national brands I could just buy at HEB. They did not give a single fuck, which is kind of insane when it's the lowest effort dish - they'd literally just have to microwave the brownie. We left it on the table and left, and went to Zed's instead. It was delicious. Also: -The guy who delivered our first dishes and took the number did not seem sober. He was who was working cash when we were leaving, and I didn't want to even try to have that conversation about the shitty meal - he didn't strike us as someone who'd have cared. -As far as taste goes: the sandwich, poblanos, and rice/beans were decent (not great or memorable, but perfectly edible), but the cauliflower tacos were weird - the cauliflower was weirdly dry and seemed undercooked, and had an overwhelming cinnamon flavor. The margaritas were fine, though I am only now realizing I never got a buzz or anything like that. Maybe my fury over the brownie I'd looked forward to for two weeks killed my buzz, but it may have also been a weak drink. I'm a lightweight and have never had a margarita that didn't get me a little silly. read more

Pretty good! I came here with a birthday group, so we were big & loud. First, the fact they could accommodate 14 people without a preselect menu is a huge win! The service was slow, but understanding with our party size. I had a screwdriver for a drink & omg the fresh orange juice hit the spot. The food was pretty good, but not great. I ordered the Hueves Rancheros & had no complaints. Other people in the group mentioned their food was dry, particularly the biscuits. The restaurant is located in a popular location so there are a lot of running groups on the weekend. Overall, I thought it was a good experience, especially considering our size. I'm sure we would have even a better time with a smaller group. I'd return! read more
